Azad Jammu & Kashmir Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan stated that India had unjustly punished prominent Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik to appease Hindutva worriers who have been calling shots on the ground.

He said that everyone needs to be united on the Kashmir issue.

Opposition Leader Chaudhry Latif Akbar, Government Ministers Khawaja Farooq Ahmed, Dewan Ali Khan Chughtai, Abdul Majeed Khan, Chaudhry Muhammad Akbar Ibrahim, Information Secretary Ms. Madhat Shehzad, Director General Information Raja Azhar Iqbal, and others also attended the ceremony. Speaking on this occasion Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan announced host of packages for the welfare of journalists and promotion of healthy journalism in the State.

The media uplift projects include Rs. 2 million for setting up Journalism Academy in Muzaffarabad, Rs. 2 million for Central Press Club, 25 motorcycles, 30 LCDs, and Rs. 5 million for welfare of newspaper vendors/hawkers. Underlining the importance of the media, Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan assured the journalist fraternity that his government would not leave the media in lurch. Terming constructive criticism as part of fair journalism, the PM said that the media has every right to criticize the government, but the criticism should be within the confined and established journalistic norms.
